New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 11.15 on the morning of the 21st of November, 1954, the Customs Water Guard Officer reported that the eight-feet dinghy Horace, of New Brighton, was drifting in the Rock Channel with three boys on board. At 11.42 the life-boat Norman B. Corlett put out in an ebbing tide. The sea was moderate, and a fresh breeze was blowing from the south-east. The life-boat made a search, and at 12.10 she found the Horace alongside an anchored motor boat near R.6 buoy. The boys were nearly exhausted, but hung on to the motor boat. The life-boat took them aboard and towed their dinghy to New Brighton, arriving at 12.50. The mother of one of the boys expressed her thanks.—Rewards, £6 12s..
